Reducing Employee Stress to improve performance

Simple suggestions for fortifying organizational culture to combat erosion and employee burnout

- 

Happier, healthier, and more engaged employees make for more effective, efficient, and successful organizations. But achieving high levels of engagement can be challenging, as a multitude of factors affect an employee’s relationship with their organization: a person’s role and potential for growth; relationships with colleagues, managers, and leaders; obstacles real and perceived; the total rewards package; having a sense of purpose and faith in the company’s direction; and many others.

One of the most frequently talked about elements of the engagement mix is employee well-being. How someone feels — physically, emotionally, financially, spiritually — has a real impact on their ability to innovate, collaborate, and connect with others and the company’s mission. The good news is that most forward-thinking organizations understand that engagement is an important organizational metric and are investing in activities and initiatives that promote employee well-being which yield both short- and long-term benefits for all.
